for donald trump to do? no. anyway, i think desantis will do what you re saying. this does come on the heels of the trump organization and its cfo being charged with tax crimes today. trump sees this as a political witch hunt. the aide says, quote, now he s definitely going to run for president again. i m not sure what the calculation is there, but what do you think? i do think part of donald trump s calculation in making it seem like he is running for president and doing a lot of these rallies now is to insulate him from these kinds of legal questions. don t come after me, this is a witch hunt. and he can play that game. that said, is this going to add up to anything for trump? i don t know. i mean, is it worse than anything we saw go down in his white house? is it worse than him inciting the insurrection? i d say not. biden is trying to walk a very fine line here, only pointing to biden s tax reform proposals when asked about the charges. is there a rift for biden if he

are actually enduring? he hasn t shown real compassion based on what i ve observed, so i m not surprised he s putting politics over the people like he s done his whole presidency and political career. in terms of desantis, he s going to play it cool, not acknowledge the story. desantis wasn t a landslide victor in his election in florida. trump won pretty decisively in florida. he needs to get reelected before he can run for president. he s going to play it cool, say not come and have this great bipartisan moment. i think it was encouraging for people to see, but doesn t surprise me with trump, doesn t surprise me that desantis would be frustrated but not publicly say it. i agree. desantis is dealing with a disaster. why would trump care, though? would that be beyond the peal

were to say too much? when he was asked, he said i don t know anything about it, i was on my way, which i don t believe that for one second. what do you think? i don t know if president biden was briefed on the situation but it is important for him to stay focused, to continue to govern. he has a huge infrastructure bill. we just got a big blow to voting rights today. we have a voting rights bill that needs to be passed. let the courts handle trump and the trump organization and see what happens, but i don t think biden should engage in this conversation. i appreciate him staying focused on the victims today. really good to see you. coming up next, his parents survived the holocaust and now he s been the target of anti-semitic acts. a look at the rise of an anti-semitism in europe, next. you already pay for car insurance,
